the article states 'equipped with ludicrously large 21-inch wheels wrapped in paper-thin 275/75/R21 road tires'
No way are they 75 profile, they'd be like balloons! 45 or 50 maybe. Richard

the standard is 275/45x21 (or on mine 285/40x22 )
There is a much better youtube vid from some Aussie chaps who give a 2Ltr D5 a good workout, and are very impressed with it - if its OK for them then I'm OK with one for the mean and rugged parts of Brum
